The Trenton, IN. J.), State Gazette,
in casting about for some effectual
method to stop bribery at elections, has
hit upon plan that is novel and would
seem to accomplished the desired end.
It is to let the briber go free and pun
ish the one who accepts the bribe by
disfranchising him. This is not on the
principle that the bribedis more guilty,
but because it would enable "anti-
bribery" organizations to buy purchas-
BILE voters and then have them pun.

approached would not be certain wheth-

their right to vote, they would
refuse to sell. If no better method car
be found it might be well to try this.

rHE ARr OF oHURoH KILLING.


It would seem that some parishes
have mastered the art ofkeeping small
and unprospereus. We have taken
some pains to ascertain exactly how
the thing is done, and for the benefit
of all concerned, beg leave to report as
follows: ..N
Disparage your minister whenever
iit Is, possible to do so, but be careful al
ways tosay You are his friend. Ifyeu
have no facts to deprecate him with,
insinuate that all is not right. A
suspicion is often more damaging than
an accusation, and an ominous shake
Of the head and significant look more
fatal to a reputation than any words.
Never praise the preaching in your
church; that might lead people to
wish to hear for themselves. II you
cannot say anything against the preach
ing say nothing. Attend your own
church irregularly, and always 60 late.
IL you can 60 to other churches half
the time do. so, and always express
yourself as perfectly delighted with
the services, music and everything else.
Besure never to enter your own church
till after the services have commenced
It would show interest If you did so,
IL
and might lead others to follow your
example. When in church appear as
listless as possible. Sleep if you can
if you cannot, gaze about the building,
note the empty seats 90 that youFcan
speak ofthem, When you 60 away apt
pear to be bedissatisfed with everything.
Above all, never ask stranger to
church. With, you, and never take any
one into your pew. You cannot kill
a church with hospitality. Make all
the trouble you can about the music.
About all music in church is good for
il. for discords, and the man or WONT
an who cannot make a sea of trouble
out Of the singing, to say nothing Of
the organ, doesn't amount to muchi
See to it that your church is always
dirty, out of repair, and unattractive
az possible. II, the society is not all
ready divided into parties and factions,

sENAToR PALMER. of Micbipan ad.

SENATOR PALMER, of Michigan ad-
vises the Republican party to espose
prohibition. He thinks it absolutely
imperative to have "some great NOR
al or sentimental issue to hold the par
ty together" A generation has grown
up for which the war issues have lost
interest, and the tariff alone won't
do" Hence, in the Senator's opinion,
the necessity of question ''that ap-
peals to the homes and the hearts of
the people of this country like the
temperance question: He believes
that, within six years, the party viii
be compelled to adopt prohibition as a
National issue.
